Does anyone understand how sanctions against Russians who aid Russian government with arms supplies works out in practical terms? I don’t understand how the sanctions work of these are Russians nationals. Hate to be so dimwitted, but I puzzled over this when I heard it and when I read it and couldn’t find the answer.

Think of it like this Jackie, if you have a bank account that has sanction on it. Money doesn’t flow into and out of your bank account. Now multiply that by the number of people that also have bank accounts that you do business with. In the case of Russia, President Obama is going after a network of people that aid Putin.

I agree with what you said Layla, because as far as McCain is concern this President never does anything right unless it’s to start another war. If President Obama wanted or needed McCain advice he would have call and asked him. Since he hasn’t gotten the call I guess McCain should get the message that no one want his advice. Like no one wanted him to be President.

This traitorous comment, from the guy who declared the American economy fundamentals ‘strong’ as it crashed around him, without an ounce of knowledge or understanding of economic fundamentals. After being in the Senate since the LAST Crimean War.

From the guy who whined last week how disappointed he was that there were no military options in Crimea.

Anyone who apparently can still sleep at night as he still defends the choice of Palin should have resigned in shame.

Ukrainian government refuses to remove troops from Crimea, prepares for war

“In the wake of a March 16 referendum in which Crimeans voted to join the Russian Federation, Ukrainian leaders refused to cede any part of the peninsula, calling on their troops to prepare for war.

“Crimea was, is, and will be our territory,” said Defense Minister Ihor Tenyukh in a statement delivered at the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center on March 17.

Former heavyweight boxing champion and leader of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform Vitali Klitschko announced that Ukrainian troops would remain at their bases, even after March 21, the end of a peace treaty signed by the interior ministries of Ukraine and Russia.”

Earlier on March 17, the Ukrainian parliament voted to allot 6.7 billion hryvnia (more than $600 million) to bolster the country’s defenses over the next three months, and to partially mobilize the armed forces. Tenyukh said that the mobilization was intended to bring the military to “full readiness.” The Verkhovna Rada called for 40,000 troops to be mobilized, calling on reservists to prepare for active duty.”

I have just heard that the West Baptist founder, Hater Phelps, is dying of untreated AIDS illness and when found out by his flock last year, led to the ex-communication…..and the ban by his church members to even visit him at the Hospice facility he is currently at.

Fred Phelps, the gay-hating preacher who is, according to his son, on hospice care, might be gay himself. That’s the claim hinted at by a former member of the Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps is said to be very ill and on the brink of death. Nathan Phelps, Fred Phelps’ son, went on Facebook yesterday to say his father’s condition had deteriorated and he stated that his dad is on hospice care at this time. Fred Phelps has spent many years picketing the funerals of people in the LGBT community, often carrying signs stating “God Hates Fags” and other hateful sentiments. Now, a former church member has stepped forward to the media to hint at why she questions his motives.
